Tesla has been making electric cars for a long period, but not with much commercial success as the other models by Tesla are quite expensive, making them out of reach of most people. Model 3, is Tesla’s way of going around this issue, as its price starts with a modest sum of US$35,000 for base model

It has been a good year for Tesla, with revenues soaring to US$7 billion which helped propel it into the Fortune 500, for the first time in 2017. Its newest car, Model 3 with reservations above 400,000 will only increase the revenue.
